Goodreads asked Kater Cheek:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Kater Cheek My most recent book was MULBERRY WANDS. It has a lot of different elements in it, from a lot of different sources. I wrote it as a sequel to ALTERNATE SUSAN, and it takes off from the characters I created in that, but it also has new characters based off people I know or parts of my own personality. I got the idea of using the owls from an owl I saw in my garden. I got the idea for the translators from some research into sociology and what it is to be human. Different ideas come from all different sources, which is why it's important to read disparately.
